A recent study published in The Lancet Public Health has shed light on the increasing rates of cancer among Generation X and millennials in the United States. The study identified 17 cancer types that are more prevalent in younger age groups compared to older generations.
Researchers analyzed data on over 23 million cancer patients and more than 7 million cancer-related deaths, focusing on adults aged 25 to 84 from the years 2000 to 2019. The study revealed a significant difference in cancer incidence rates and types across different generations, with certain cancers showing a notable increase among young adults.
